There are many collet attachment options out there for lathes. In this video I will go over a few of those options. tubalcain's video on the Poor Man's Collet Attachment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbyvweO8sNI My video making a spindle thread protector https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-Og1Wpl9ds Here are the items featured in the video: Bison 5C Collet Chuck - http://www.globalindustrial.com/g/metalworking-tools/lathe-chucks-accessories/collet-chucks/collet-chucks Beall Tool Company ER32 Collet Chuck - http://www.bealltool.com/products/turning/colletchuck.php Little Machine Shop Universal Collet Closer - http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=2728&category=-195207565 Shars MT3 to ER32 tool holder - http://www.shars.com/products/toolholding-workholding/tool-holders/er32-morse-taper-3-collet-system-13-pcs-set Here are the 3MT collets I purchased https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R11O0RK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Music: Highlight Reel Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=4304619 Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/basementmachinist/ https://www.instagram.com/basementmachinist1/

I found a real neat video that shows you how to make a collet closer for cheap for a South Bend.

I also recently got into collets because my work place has 1 lathe with a 3 jaw chuck and every other lathe is a Hardinge or Lagun turn master with collets. When I was in my machine trades class, we had one collet lathe, and I always hated it because it was so different. Which is now very ironic because all we have is collets, however I did learn that collets are used because of very small run out. I hated indicating 4 jaw chucks because of it being so finicky to get perfect, but the reason you use a 4 jaw is that it can spin more true than a 3 jaw self centering. Which odds are I would have liked collets more if I knew the advantage of collets over chucks. I recently learned this and found it very fascinating and wanted to share.
